Cold World

Late nights long walks and high grade
I told you all I'd be standing here when the lights fade/
I see you all looking money trees for a nice shade
sign your life away now your regretting the price paid/
Nice mate hp and credit cards
look at your statement wondering what all these debits are/
Working 8 hours a day but never getting far
life in the bus lane fuck it I ain't getting car/
I should be saving for my wedding but I'm buying weed
try and see the world thru these tired eyes and you might agree/
The life i see is just daemons and dickheads trying me
denying me of freedom like I'm the last of a dying breed/
Take a second to get it
you might understand but you know that I truly meant it/
Wear my heart on my sleeve and confess my mental is dented I've questioned god and his methods but still I'm counting my blessings/
From no lights no food and no heat
to strobe lights tight bars and dope beats/
From dreaming of having flashing cars and gold teeth
to crew necks new era fitters and no sleep/

" Cash rules every around me "

From giros scrap paper and biros
to lump sums high bills and iPhones/
From ten bags pawn shops and old jeans
to half ounces reeboks and flat screens/
Bright lights jack Daniels and lemon haze
nightmares I'm sick of playing the devil's games/
Improvising I'm tryna get on a level plane unsettled rage screaming feels like I'm stuck in a metal cage,
Chipping my teeth on pound cake taking centre stage
do whatever it takes as long as the rent is paid/
The wife is worried thinks I never look after myself
My life is hurried ain't no time to be thinking of health,
Social services cold homes and lost kids
I told you its a cold world I'm frost bit/
You got shit? Gimme dat get dropped quick t
o don't worry it's all good I've got this/

" cash rules everything around me "

I ain't balling I'm only trying maintain
Sometimes I think I should pay the money and change names,
To start again knowing everything that I know now but still can't wash away like a dirty stain on my soul cal,
Still waters do run deep I've only got my 2 lungs keep,
pushing my buttons like you're a glutton for punishment I'm promise you first off I will remove your two front teeth,
More to lose comes with more money too much grief
more to prove coz I ain't playing it's you or me/
Believe in god but i ain't praying it's 2:14 in the morning
I'm walking up to new all green/
Visions are haunting
scared of what I do foresee
mission is daunting
I'm hoping that I do succeed/
My child is what I do this for
unborn but I swear I've never felt this raw/
Pure emotion
something that you can't ignore
pure devotion is what my child will love me for/
Now that's something that money can't buy I just hope that it's all love when it comes to my time/
And that's real
